I'd say panic. I seem to remember "Epitath One" was also going to reveal something very important. Now we'll never know unless we pay $40 for the DVD...or Fox remembers how to count and airs the last episode.

Seriously, I have been a defender of Fox in many ways from the hordes of "Fox is the worst network evah!" cries, but this is just messed up. If you wanna cancel it after four episodes, fine, we'll catch up on DVD. If you wanna air all of season one and not renew it, fine, it's not a big hit so I understand. But you wanna air ALL BUT ONE of the episodes, after keeping the show on the air until it gets really good, leaving off a Joss-directed finale from a Joss story, so a show you've already cancelled can have a two hour series finale?

Rationally, I bet Fox is thinking 1) Omega probably wraps up the story in a way that could function as a finale. I get the feeling it might be like Primeaval, with the finale as a Restless type thing.

This might be a mistake. FOX have shifted back "Mental" a week so FOX *do* have a slot free they can use for the Dollhouse finale. It's also possible they just don't want to air Joss, Jed and Maurissa's episode. Speaking to PR people now.

So, can we talk about the spoiler here then, because that information about Alpha is AWESOME. It's so cruel that they really make me want a second season at the same time as they make it look all weird and doubtful.

The Osterhagen Key was to be destroyed as there should never be a reason why the human race would destroy itself. And with that I have a word for you all. Patience. We waited so long for a new Joss show. We waited with bated breath while the show was being made. The European contingent is still holding said breath as we do not have a legal way of viewing the show...
